"Engineers working on consumer electronics do not, in general, have a free hand to seek optimum subjective performance."If by "subjective performance" you mean "testing with a lack of controls", then yes, that's often right. But mainstream manufacturers do a lot of controlled listening tests- go visit someone like Harman.
"If the Marketing dept. calls for an amp with 100W/ch and less than 0.001% THD, that's what they get."
Product specs that I've seen have a lot more than that going on. Can you provide an example of an actual marketing spec (as opposed to an anecdote) as narrow as what you're positing?
